Amazon’s 10th Prime Day is upon us, and the e-commerce company tapped rapper Megan Thee Stallion to help kick off the sale.
The rapper kicks it off with an original song, “It’s Prime Day,” streaming exclusively on Amazon Music. In the accompanying video, the rapper says she can “change my hobby like I change my men” as she takes advantage of exclusive Prime Day member deals to become a cosplayer, stylist, lifeguard, gamer and chef.
Prime members can also shop Megan Thee Stallion’s Prime Day picks inspired by her various interests featured in the music video, which include early deals on items from her new Hot Girl Summer Tour merchandise collection.
The two-day sale starts on July 16 and runs until July 17, promising millions of deals across more than 35 categories, including electronics, kitchen, apparel and beauty.
“Prime Day is a celebration of the value we bring to members year-round, offering millions of deals across more than 35 product categories, as well as discounts on Amazon devices, quality entertainment, groceries, travel and more during the event,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime , in a press release.
